VC: My Business Idea

Bit late on this one. So after much thought I decided to use the FYP house automation idea in the end. Not really because I wanted to, but because it was the best thing I could think of. I began by writing a script, and ended up with this:

Hello all, I’m Sidd! Many a time I’ve found myself coming home from work or lectures after a long, hard day. So I finish for the day looking forward to getting home, all I want to do is sit in front of the telly and getting a good meal in me. only to arrive and realise I still have to prepare my meal! I’m feeling lazy today, so I take my meal for the day out of the fridge and or freezer, stick it in the grill and or oven, which I have to wait to pre-hear, only to wait another twenty or so minutes for the food to be done before I can turn my brain off and relax. Wouldn’t it be great if it was done just in time for when I got home?  
Now you might be asking yourself; “But Sidd? How is such a feat possible? How could I magically cook food without even being at home?”  Well my friends, I have the potential solution right here! Imagine being able to control your oven or grill with your smartphone… over the web. Would that not be incredibly convenient? So as you leave the house for work, you stick something in the currently unpowered grill. As you’re about to leave your place of work, you could turn your grill on via your smartphone to have your food ready when you get home. 
Now I can see your minds have clearly been blown by this concept, but it doesn’t end there! Imagine having this level of control over almost anything in your house - this is just a pre-packaged thing I bought from ASDA and only really works short range for turning mains-powered devices on and off. My one will incorporate the magic of the internet and allow you to control anything from anywhere. Imagine lying in bed, and being able to turn your lights off with just a couple taps on your phone. Imagine you left for work in a rush, but you realised you forgot to turn your straighteners off. Turn them off with a couple of taps. Imagine lounging on the sofa, reading a book and changing the volume on hi-fi with just a couple of taps. 
Now, after some significant research, this is all possible with the wonders of the Arduino device and assorted components. To make this a reality I’d need a co-software developer, a hardware engineer a researcher/documenter/admin person and potentially a marketer. 

Overall I was pretty happy with the idea, although it's something I'm definitely not going to pursue or take forward as one of group projects due to it being my FYP.

Logitech G502 Proteus Core Teardown & Scroll Wheel Replacement

Image
So I recently acquired a Logitech  G502  mouse, and I have to say I absolutely love it. It's a beautiful mouse, and a worth upgrade to my old G500s mouse. However my one gripe was the new all-metal scroll wheel. While the weight was nice, I missed the rubber ring around my old 500s. This led me to attempt to replace the new 502 scroll wheel with the old one from my busted 500s. So let's get started shall we? So as you can see, these are what the mice look like side-by side. While they look drastically different, the ergonomics are actually very similar among the two. The first step was to take the mouse feet off and unscrew the screws that hold the chassis in place.  Lever the feet off gently with a flathead screwdriver. And they just peel right off. There's four screws on the underside of the mouse.  So the feet are layered. There's double-sided adhesive foam, with the feet on top. On the back foot, I managed to peel off...

Turning a laptop screen into an external monitor.

Image
So my old Dell L502x died. However most of the components were fine, it's just the motherboard that seemed to be down with a case of water damage. So along with turning the chassis of the laptop into a dock/stand for my new laptop I wanted to turn the laptop's screen into an external monitor. So the first thing I did was extract the panel from the housing to take a look at the model number and the interface. If you're looking to do this yourself just look up the documentation for your laptop or go to ifixit.com  and look it up. Fortunately Dell has excellent documentation and a pretty straightforward teardown process.

FYP: Accessibility, and Justification of Equipment

The next step was hooking up the master arduino to Hazel and have it listening out for the webapp's messages. This wasn't that hard as I'd already done it as part of my prior development in December. Unfortunately I was lacking a WiFly shield I had borrowed from the university at the time, and the university had all of the WiFlys booked out.  However part of the intention of this project was accessibility, the components needed to be cost effective and easily accessible. This cannot be said for the WiFly shield as it costs around $70 . The official Arduino WiFi shield costs around the same . Instead I actively opted to use an ethernet shield for a number of reasons: Price. A new third-party ethernet shield can cost less than £10 on ebay. The one I bought for this project cost £12.49 . I selected that one because it had UK distribution. Standardization. Nearly any third-party ethernet shield can be used with the Arduino's default Ethernet library. Ano...
